Second Road Trip in May

[KenMan]

Just got lucky today and bought a ticket on Orbitz for under $700! I have been scoping and waiting for the price to come down. I figure this is the best I will probably get? It was over $900 a few weeks ago.

Did you get reasonable connections between flights?  I have always been afraid of getting stuck with unworkable connections off of sites like that?  I'm just curious.

How do you get Orbitz to work?
Where did you buy your ticket to? If I may ask.
I am trying to find some site to find ticket from San Francisco to Odessa.
Can you give me more detail of how you used them.
Thanks,
MS

www.orbitz.com For some reason I found the flights out of Memphis very inexpensive for some reason? I live near Nnew Orleans and Memphis is a hub for KLM/Northwest. So that could be the reason. The flights are the usual 18 hours. I fly GPT - MEM - KBP. There is one 5 hour layover but all the others are around an hour.

They give you a list of fights. With the prices, flight numbers and dates/times. So you know what you are buying before you purchase your ticket. You are not bidding. They do that for you. They go directly to the airlines for their prices. I find it to be the best so far. With Priceline you have no idea what you are getting. Only the price. Cheap Tickets and Travelocity seem more expensive. I have been hawking these dates for around two months. It started out at a $1030 went to $930 and stayed at $787 for a couple of weeks. Today for some reason I got $698 and could not pass it up. I'M BACK IN THE U.S.S.R. The Ukraine Girls Really Knock Me Out, They Leave The West Behind! Not really but there are a couple of nice girls I would like to see. Only problem is they all are so fine. They must not know me yet :-) I think they look at us as some easy ticket out of where they are? But I did not find it all that bad when I was there in November. I think they are in for a big dissapointment. The only thing I believe we really have over them is our housing. I do not think I would want to live in one of those flats for the rest of my life. I am spoiled with my house and land! Other than that there are some advantages and disadvantages. God Bless America.. LOL!!!

Thanks Ken for the info. I finally got some itenaries which are over $5k. This is way outrageous prices. I used to travel for around $800 to Odessa(like last year), now anything I checked on internet is over $2000, maybe I should just call atravel agent.
